Research on Hierarchical P2P Based RFID Code Resolution Network and Its Security

Abstract

In order to build large-scale RFID applications, it is necessary to establish public RFID service infrastructure, the essential task is to build efficient and secure RFID code resolution network. Aiming at alleviating the problems in load balancing, single node failure tolerance and security of resolution network, based on related standards and research works, a hierarchical P2P based RFID code resolution network structure is proposed, k-Nearest Neighbor storing and hierarchical querying mechanism are presented in static resolution, secondary indexing and hierarchical querying mechanism are presented in dynamic resolution, double random number based entity and message authentication mechanism is given for the correctness of resolution service. Based on modified Kademlia, RFID code resolution services and related security mechanism are implemented. In experiments, the availability, load balancing and single node failure tolerance of our resolution network are verified.

RFID enabled traceability networks: a survey

“…In a recent effort presented in [61,62], the authors propose a hierarchical peer-topeer (P2P) architecture to solve the load balancing and single node failure problems in ONS and DS type resolution infrastructure we have discussed in Sects. 5.1 and 5.2.…”

“…Traceability Queries. The architectural extensions only provide a means to enable track and trace queries given an underlying EPC Network architecture as described in [61]. Hence there is no efficient mechanism for realizing high-level track and trace queries.…”

“…Due to the nature of large-scale traceability applications (e.g., high volume of data, distributed across organizations, complicated relationship such as containment), data models must be appropriately designed. Fortunately, database research community is recently developing a strong interest in RFID data modeling [2,11,13,25,26,33,39,40,56,57,61]. In this section, we will examine a set of representative research work on data modeling and corresponding query processing techniques for RFID traceability networks.…”

“…The proposed dynamic resolution network in [61] based on the static network described above is a hierarchical P2P solution for implementing a DS type infrastructure to record object movements and support track and trace type queries. Every event in a local EPC Network should be registered within the group nodes in the form of <EPC, EPCIS Address + event_type + timestamp>.…”

A Large Scale Code Resolution Service Network in the Internet of Things

“…A DHT-DNS hybrid naming system is proposed in paper [20], whose upper level nodes are organized into hierarchical architecture and lower level nodes are organized into DHTs connected with corresponding hierarchical nodes respectively. A hierarchical P2P code resolution service is proposed in [21], whose lower level consists of many disjoint P2P networks and upper level is composed of a single P2P network where each node is regarded as a super node and selected from a P2P network at the lower level. A code can be resolved from top to bottom according to its hierarchical structure.…”
